Parasha Shemini
Shemini, Sh'mini, or Shmini (שְּׁמִינִי—Hebrew for “eighth”).
Parasha Shemini, in Leviticus, recounts the consecration of the Tabernacle and the ordination of Aharon and his sons as priests. Tragedy strikes when Aharon's sons, Nadab and Abihu, offer unauthorized fire and perish. Yahweh emphasizes the sanctity of worship, prescribing specific rituals and dietary laws for the Israelites. The Parasha establishes guidelines for distinguishing between clean and unclean animals. Shemini underscores the consequences of deviating from divine commandments and highlights the meticulous observance of rituals as a means of maintaining spiritual purity. This Parasha reinforces the sacred boundaries of the priestly role and the Israelites' commitment to a holy life.
